Great report Ken , I gotta meet Doug one day too .
My bad , sweet coin without that scratch .
Too bad for that scratch , otherwise it has just a couple very minor hits .
Nice VDB , thinking 66 . It sure is clean though but the luster looks a little muted to me .
I wanted to go 67 on this one , but with such a big jump in price from 66 to 67 especially a PCGS 67 , I figured they'd be very conservative on it .
Glen is as honest as they come , as I have bought a couple coins from him . One proof seated dime I returned and told him to hold the money as I...

No problem , the inventor , a chemist , is a member of this site . I've used it with great results . No color change at all , unlike MS-70 that I...

Doug , all the advice given is very good , but don't forget one of the main things . That's learning about the coin you want . Read everything you...
From what I heard , they (certain coin doctors) can already tone coins pretty convincingly . We mostly notice the obvious hack jobs from some...
Love your '82 , I'd love to get a Proof one day as they really show the way the design was supposed to look .
